Does anyone else ever mentally hum a tune during swim practices and/or races? My personal favorite, when I am trying to summon energy from my exhausted body, is the 1812 Overture--I try to time it so the cannons start firing towards the latter part of the race.
I'd be interested to hear what goes through other peoples' minds as they swim, musical or otherwise.

Thank God, Randy! I was beginning to think there was something wrong with me because I didn't hear classical music when I swam!
I don't think I think of anything when I'm competing (in fact, my coach swears I forget EVERYTHING she's told me as soon as I dive off the blocks), but when I'm just working out, I usually hear in my head whatever song is currently stuck there after driving in that morning. Sometimes that's unfortunate, if it's a real turkey like "Last Kiss" (I really hate that song), but some days I get lucky, and it's something good, like "Johnny B. Goode," by Chuck Berry!
